At the event, which also featured appearances from stars such as Janet Mock, Iskra Lawrence, and Jamie Alexander, Troian discussed the impact that people can make online to help raise awareness about eating disorders. "We can channel social media into action and support for one another," the actress explained.

Troian also took to Instagram to document the event, noting that she is proud to "support and honor the great work" of the NEDA. She added that she encourages "those struggling with mental illness to seek treatment, support and help." She finished her post with the hashtags #HereForYou, and #FeedTheMovie, referring to the film that she wrote about her own experience as a survivor of anorexia. The movie, which Troian is also producing and starring in, has served as a healing process for the actress. "“It’s not a disease you can see, you just hear something in your head that tells you not to eat — for many, many different reasons for different people. I realized that I wouldn’t be able to fully heal until I could get people who I loved to empathize...to understand where I was coming from," Troian said of the upcoming project. "I’m really, really proud of it. I’m very excited to share it with people."
